Books for Bands 1st Annual Drive

One of the comforts that I found most helpful while living in a van with four other guys for weeks and months at a time, was reading. Nothing could kill time, ease stress, or help me escape quite like a good book. It is with that in mind that we here at IMU have decided to collect any and all fiction and nonfiction books that are in passable condition so that we can donate them to bands on tour who pass through the Cleveland, Ohio area (or are leaving from the Cleveland area to embark on a tour).

More information will be coming in the next few weeks, but we’ve already managed to collect over 100 books just between our staff, volunteers, friends, and family! We are aiming to collect at least 500 books during our first drive, and we hope that you’ll go through your old collection and donate one or two to help independent musicians keep their sanity while on the road.

Be sure to follow this blog, join us on Twitter @indiemusicunite, and become a fan on Facebook so that you can keep up with everything we’ve got going on at IMU. We love you all and appreciate your time and support!
